Driving through town just my boy and me With a happy meal in his booster seat Knowing that he couldn't have the toy 'Till his nuggets were gone Green traffic light turned straight to red I hit my brakes and mumbled under my breath His fries went a flying and his orange drink covered his lap Well then my four year old said a four letter word That started with "s" and I was concerned So I said son now now where did you learn to talk like that He said I've been watching you dad, ain't that cool I'm your buckaroo, I wanna be like you And eat all my food and grow as tall as you are We got cowboy boots and camo pants Yeah we're just alike, hey ain't we dad I wanna do everything you do So I've been watching you We got back home and I went to the barn I bowed my head and I prayed real hard Said lord please help me help my stupid self Then this side of bedtime later that night Turning on my son's scooby doo nightlight He crawled out of bed and he got down on his knees He closed his little eyes, folded his little hands And spoke to God like he was talking to a friend And I said son now where'd you learn to pray like that He said I've been watching you dad, ain't that cool I'm your buckaroo, I wanna be like you And eat all my food and grow as tall as you are We like fixing things and holding mama's hand Yeah we're just alike, hey ain't we dad I wanna do everything you do So I've been watching you With tears in my eyes I wrapped him in a hug Said my little bear is growing up And he said but when I'm big I'll still know what to do Cause I've been watching you dad, ain't that cool I'm your buckaroo, I wanna be like you And eat all my food and grow as tall as you are By then I'll be as strong as superman We'll be just alike, hey won't we dad When I can do everything you do Cause I've been watching you
Sit in that six lane backed up traffic Horns are honking, I've about had it I'm looking for an exit sign Gotta get out of here, get it all off my mind Then like a memory from your grandpa's attic A song comes slippin' through the radio static Changing my mood, a little George Strait 1982 And it makes me wanna take a back road Makes me wanna take the long way home Put a little gravel in my travel Unwind, unravel all night long Makes me wanna grab my honey Tear down some two-lane country, who knows Get lost and get right with my soul Makes me wanna take, makes me wanna Take a back road I've been cooped up, tied down, 'bout forgotten What a field looks like, full of corn and cotton If I'm gonna hit a traffic jam Well it better be a tractor man So sick and tired of this interstate system I need a curve and wide a twistin' Dusty path to nowhere With the wind blowing through my baby's hair Yeah, it makes me wanna take a back road Makes me wanna take the long way home Put a little gravel in my travel Unwind, unravel all night long Makes me wanna grab my honey Tear down some two-lane country, who knows Get lost and get right with my soul Makes wanna take, makes me wanna Take a back road Some old back road Maybe it's the feeling, or maybe it's the freedom Maybe it's that shady spot Where we park the truck when things get hot Girl we park the truck when the things get hot And it makes me wanna take a back road Makes me wanna take the long way home Put a little gravel in my travel Unwind, unravel all night long Makes me wanna grab you honey Tear down some two-lane country, who knows Get lost and get right with my soul Makes me wanna take, makes me wanna Take a back road Some old back road, get right with my soul Now all I gotta do is take some old back road To the shady spot where things get hot girl Way down, way down, way down some old back road
Well, I heard he needed some help on the farm Somebody with a truck and two strong arms Not scared of dirt and willing to work 'Til the sun goes down So I pulled up and said, "I'm your man I can start right now" and we shook hands He said, "The fence needs fixin', the peaches need pickin' And the cows need bringin' round" I was haulin' hay, I was feedin' the hogs And that summer sun had me sweatin' like a dog So I cooled off in the creek and it was back to work In that dead-gum heat I was cussin' out loud, thinkin' 'bout quittin' Lookin' back now, I'm sure glad I didn't 'Cause just when I thought it couldn't get no hotter I caught a glimpse of the farmer's daughter She was just gettin' home from Panama City She was all tanned-up and my kind of pretty When her eyes met mine I was thinkin' that I sure love my job As the days got shorter, our talks got longer The kisses got sweeter and the feelings got stronger So we'd hop in the truck and get all tangled up Every chance we got We were down by the river all night long When the sun came up, I was sneakin' her home And draggin' my butt to work With the smell of her perfume on my shirt I'd be on the tractor, she'd be on my mind With that sun beatin' down on this back of mine And just when I thought it couldn't get no hotter I fell in love with the farmer's daughter We got married last spring Oh, and there ain't no better life for me I'm still haulin' hay and feedin' the hogs And that summer sun's got me sweatin' like a dog So I cool off in the creek And she brings me out a glass of sweet ice tea Now I'm on the tractor, she's on my mind And I can't wait 'til it's quittin' time And just when I think it can't get no hotter I come home to the farmer's daughter, yeah The farmer's daughter Hey, baby
